In the New Jersey matter, Dong, of Staten Island, N.Y., paid $140 on May 9 to settle a citation for failing to obey signal signs or directions. He was ticketed on Route 33 in Robbinsville, N.J., near Trenton, online court records show. Since the fatal crash in Virginia, federal transportation officials have publicly feuded with New York’s state driver’s licensing agency over granting Dong a commercial driving credential.
